Sexual Dimorphism in Deciduous Dentition: A Lilliput Effect

Sex determination of juvenile skeletal remains is a problematic area affecting physical anthropology, forensic science and archaeology. Sexual dimorphism in the morphometric crown traits of the deciduous dentition

Sexual Dimorphism in the Tooth-Crown Diameters

Mesiodistal and buccolingual crown dimensions of the right deciduous teeth of 133 white children were analyzed for information on sexual dimorphism and sex discrimination using discriminant analysis. Even though consistent differences were found for only 15 out of 20 paired measurements, five of them significant a t p = 0.05 or better, discriminant analysis showed the possibility of correctly s...

Patterns of Dental Sexual Dimorphism in Krapina

Sexual dimorphism is an important component of morphological variation and has been associated with a range of socioecological and cultural variables. Comparing patterns of dental sexual dimorphism in two Central European samples, Krapina and Pr fedmostí, may shed light on sexual differences in biocultural adaptation. However, studying sexual dimorphism in ancient populations needs to address m...

Frequency and variability of dental morphology in deciduous and permanent dentition of a Nasa indigenous group in the municipality of Morales, Cauca, Colombia

OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency, variability, sexual dimorphism and bilateral symmetry of fourteen dental crown traits in the deciduous and permanent dentition of 60 dental models (35 women and 25 men) obtained from a native, indigenous group of Nasa school children of the Musse Ukue group in the municipality of Morales, Department of Cauca, Colombia. METHODS This is a quantitative, des...

Developmental changes in pharyngeal airway depth and hyoid bone position from childhood to young adulthood.

OBJECTIVE (1) To test the hypothesis that there are no developmental changes in the pharyngeal airway depth and hyoid bone position from childhood to adulthood in normal Taiwanese persons, (2) to identify any sexual dimorphism, and (3) to find the predictive value of selective variables for the hyoid bone position. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 239 normal Taiwanes...
